DC -- Hirshhorn Museum -- Exhibit: At the Hub of Things: New Views of the Collection:

- Description of Pictures: In celebration of the Museum’s 40th anniversary, the Hirshhorn recently completed the first comprehensive renovation of the Third Level galleries, returning the sweeping, majestic spaces to architect Gordon Bunshaft’s original design.
The first exhibition in the new galleries is At the Hub of Things: New Views of the Collection, which reveals a fresh perspective on the Hirshhorn’s world-class holdings of modern and contemporary art. The title of the show accentuates the Museum’s role as a dynamic hub where diverse ideas converge and new connections are made between artists and audiences. Visitors will experience a thought-provoking array of works arranged in thematic groupings that bring together artists from a variety of generations, backgrounds, and approaches. Included are favorite artworks that have not been on view in years, such as large-scale installations by Spencer Finch, Robert Gober, Jannis Kounellis, Bruce Nauman, and Ernesto Neto, as well as paintings and sculptures by Janine Antoni, Aligheiro e Boetti, Cai Guo-Qiang, Isa Genzken, Alfred Jensen, and Brice Marden, among others. New hard-surface floors make it possible for the first time to show floor-bound sculptures by Louise Bourgeois, Katharina Fritsch, Anish Kapoor, Sol LeWitt, and Richard Long in these galleries. This installation also occasioned a brand-new iteration of two major text pieces by Lawrence Weiner, which will enliven the walls and windows of the Abram Lerner Room and will be visible from the National Mall.
At the Hub of Things: New Views of the Collection is organized by curator Evelyn Hankins and associate curator Melissa Ho. The exhibition is made possible in part by support from the Estate of Frank B. Gettings in memory of Nancy Kirkpatrick and Frank Gettings, the Holenia Trust, and members of the Hirshhorn Annual Circle Program.

- Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
